308 rounds, but I have not done so (yet). I shoot an MG-42 machinegun, so I face the prospect of using surplus and not reloading those cases, or spending a mint on new cases and making my own cartridges, and the MG-42 is a VERY hungry gun. Face it, the 8mm cartridge is now obsolete and getting rarer by the day. All the surplus is berdan primed, not boxer primed, so it is practically unreloadable, and new 8mm brass cases that take boxer primers are VERY expensive. Yugoslavian and Romanian ammo is available if you hunt for it, Aim Surplus has Romanian 8mm, which I prefer, but it is steel cased. Trouble is, military 8mm surplus is getting rare and expensive these days. (131 picture virtual tour) Observations: Primary infantry rifle for the Imperial German Army during World War 1.
